  Any applications that utilize the dual processor features should simply work the same. Apple is dealing with the differences between dualcore and dual processor in their OS code, although I don’t know the specifics of how AE works.

  The link above shows the dualcore 2.3 GHz performing about the same as a dual processor 2.5 GHz PowerMac. Now how much improvement you will get with 4 processors remains to be seen… you get diminishing returns for single applications.
